RiverWay South!

| | Comments (0)
RiverWay South is designed to work with communities within the Apalachicola, Chattahoochee, and Flint (ACF) watershed to preserve, protect and promote the unique heritage of the watershed while infusing new economic life into those communities struggling to survive. Although three states and three rivers are involved, ACF represents one magnificent river system.

We are working with counties in the Chattahoochee, Flint, and Apalachicola watershed to stimulate economies through cultural heritage tourism and by supporting and encouraging river excursions and recreation on the river. RiverWay South is a not for profit organization funded by a USDA Rural Business Opportunity Grant.
